'Evidence of the depth and breadth of Obama's radicalism': President suggests Catholic schools are divisive

That’s exactly what happened, as evidenced by this quote from President Obama at the G8 summit in Northern Ireland:

“If towns remain divided—if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can’t see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden—that too encourages division and discourages cooperation,” Obama said.

President Obama: Bringing the world together by singling out certain groups for unwarranted ridicule and derision since 2009!

In front of an audience of 2,000 young people, many Catholics, Obama claimed that Catholic education divides people & blocks peace.

Many others also voiced their outrage at the president’s remarks:

Let this godless moron POTUS keep coming after the Catholic Church & see how that works out for him. #KruiserFeelings

Obama spent twenty years enjoying Jeremiah Wright's racist blather and it's Catholic schools that are divisive? #IdiotKing

You know what happens when you ASSume, @BarackObama? You look like an ass. YOU LOOK LIKE AN ASS FOR YOUR COMMENT ON CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

YOU'RE the great divider, @BarackObama. Not us Catholics. Our schools are open to EVERYONE. Even atheists.

IowaHawk handled it with his usual spot-on sense of humor and aplomb:

Catholic schools encourage division; as opposed to public schools that are against any kind of math.
